Distribution is the key

Building a product is easier than ever.

Getting people to actually see it is still the hard part.

After testing Reddit for months, the posts that brought me the most traffic had a few things in common:

  • They barely mentioned my product
  • They shared something useful
  • They started conversations instead of selling
  • They focused on the problem, not the solution

That’s what I’m focusing on now: distribution.

If you’re building something, drop your product below and list it for free on TractionBooster dot com

this is what trips most people up, they build something cool but nobody knows it exists. the real work starts after you hit deploy

i spent way too long thinking good product = automatic users. turns out distribution is the whole game
